# Shaarli configuration

Once your Shaarli instance is installed, the file `data/config.json.php` is generated:

- it contains all settings in JSON format, and can be edited to customize values
- it defines which [plugins](Plugins.md) are enabled
- its values override those defined in `index.php`
- it is wrapped in a PHP comment so that its contents are never served by the web server, regardless of configuration

**Do not edit configuration options in index.php! Your changes would be lost.**

## Tools menu

Some settings can be configured directly from a web browser by accesing the `Tools` menu. Values are read/written to/from the configuration file.

### LDAP

- **host**: LDAP host used for user authentication
- **dn**: user DN template (`sprintf` format, `%s` being replaced by user login)

## Settings

### Credentials

_These settings should not be edited_

- **login**: Login username.
- **hash**: Generated password hash.
- **salt**: Password salt.

### General

- **title**: Shaarli's instance title.
- **header_link**: Link to the homepage.
- **links_per_page**: Number of Shaares displayed per page.
- **timezone**: See [the list of supported timezones](http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php).
- **enabled_plugins**: List of enabled plugins.
- **default_note_title**: Default title of a new note.
- **enable_async_metadata** (boolean): Retrieve external bookmark metadata asynchronously to prevent bookmark creation slowdown.
- **retrieve_description** (boolean): If set to true, for every new Shaare Shaarli will try to retrieve the description and keywords from the HTML meta tags.
- **root_url**: Overrides automatic discovery of Shaarli instance's URL (e.g.) `https://sub.domain.tld/shaarli-folder/`.

### Security

- **session_protection_disabled**: Disable session cookie hijacking protection (not recommended).
  It might be useful if your IP adress often changes.
- **ban_after**: Failed login attempts before being IP banned.
- **ban_duration**: IP ban duration in seconds.
- **open_shaarli**: Anyone can add a new Shaare while logged out if enabled.
- **trusted_proxies**: List of trusted IP which won't be banned after failed login attemps. Useful if Shaarli is behind a reverse proxy.
- **allowed_protocols**: List of allowed protocols in shaare URLs or markdown-rendered descriptions. Useful if you want to store `javascript:` links (bookmarklets) in Shaarli (default: `["ftp", "ftps", "magnet"]`).

### Resources

- **data_dir**: Data directory.
- **datastore**: Shaarli's Shaares database file path.
- **history**: Shaarli's operation history file path.
- **updates**: File path for the ran updates file.
- **log**: Log file path.
- **update_check**: Last update check file path.
- **raintpl_tpl**: Templates directory.
- **raintpl_tmp**: Template engine cache directory.
- **thumbnails_cache**: Thumbnails cache directory.
- **page_cache**: Shaarli's internal cache directory.
- **ban_file**: Banned IP file path.

### Translation

- **language**: translation language (also see [Translations](Translations))
    - **auto** (default): The translation language is chosen from the browser locale.
    It means that the language can be different for 2 different visitors depending on their locale.
    - **en**: Use the English translation.
    - **fr**: Use the French translation.
- **mode**:
    - **auto** or **php** (default): Use the PHP implementation of gettext (slower)
    - **gettext**: Use PHP builtin gettext extension
    (faster, but requires `php-gettext` to be installed and to reload the web server on update)
- **extension**: Translation extensions for custom themes or plugins.
Must be an associative array: `translation domain => translation path`.

### Updates

- **check_updates**: Enable or disable update check to the git repository.
- **check_updates_branch**: Git branch used to check updates (e.g. `stable` or `master`).
- **check_updates_interval**: Look for new version every N seconds (default: every day).

### Privacy

- **default_private_links**: Check the private checkbox by default for every new Shaare.
- **hide_public_links**: All Shaares are hidden while logged out.
- **force_login**: if **hide_public_links** and this are set to `true`, all anonymous users are redirected to the login page.
- **hide_timestamps**: Timestamps are hidden.
- **remember_user_default**: Default state of the login page's *remember me* checkbox
    - `true`: checked by default, `false`: unchecked by default

- **show_atom**: Display ATOM feed button.

### Thumbnail

- **enable_thumbnails**: Enable or disable thumbnail display.
- **enable_localcache**: Enable or disable local cache.
